After these steps, you have made contribution into codebase, but issue is still Unresolved.

Now your commit needs to be integrated - this is work for integration managers.

An integration manager will inspect your commit and can additionally ask you for further changes to your commit - in such a situation, you will need to open a new pull request and update the link (similary to step 7).

If your commit goes well, the integration manager will merge it into codebase and close pull request both in GitHub and in JIRA, which will effectively resolve the issue.
